3. For this thread

[Deek1935]

4. YUP! Media hype BULLSHIT!

[flamingdem]

5. Wonder if these ratfuckers sit around laughing

at the way dems and pretend dems set their hair on fire.

[orangecrush]

6. Both of us

Wonder the same thing.

[Cheezoholic]

10. Just left a republican freinds house. He's not a Trumper, voted for Biden, but, yeah they do

And not just laughing, he's kinda pissed. He's as afraid of the RWNJ's as I am.

[Walleye]

30. I'm sure they are, listen to that leaked tape from Trump's golf course

[ClearSky24]

33. Hey, I've just seen that leaked video and it's horrible.

It's pretty brutal. I don't like these sort of personalities.

They have no business running for the President of the United States.

[Walleye]

34. Hear hear!

[Cha]

7. Kick TY

[orangecrush]

25. Most welcome

[Cha]

28. Aloha

[orangecrush]

26. And it's the SOS

Short memory.

[Walleye]

31. Of course they are doing the SOS, it worked for them before, why wouldn't they?

[Rhiannon12866]

9. Thank you! It's the media who is going after the president, won't let it go

[Cheezoholic]

11. Do they not realize if Felon and his cronies win, they are done? They will shut them down except for maybe one they own

It's what Fascists do. All of it. Corporations. media State Govt. tax coffers. All of it they will declare martial law, take it and divvy it up amongst themselves. If they win, nothing can stop them short of blood.

Edit: My hairs not on fire I just checked lol. It's real.

[StarryNite]

12. They have nothing if they don't have lies.

[lotusblossom]

13. Yep. Same playbook over and over again.

[BadgerMom]

14. MSM either learned nothing or are complicit.

[TBF]

15. The media is complicit - every major media house is owned by extremely rich people

who only care about the tax breaks Trump is promising. They know if he really turns this country into ChristoFascistLand that it doesn't matter to them - they'll just move to their condo in Dubai.

Seriously - they don't care - and the talking heads working for them are given the scripts to read. They know what side their bread is buttered on.

[orangecrush]

27. Going with the latter

The Wapo of the Nixon era is a ghost.

29. Earl G had an excellent post on this:

You Know Why the Media Doesn't Tell Trump to Drop Out
Because every time the media has challenged Trump, the response from Republicans has been FUCK YOU, WE DON'T CARE.
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=19098952

This is so true.
Democrats talk to the media, but the media are vultures and will do anything for a story and Democrats are soft, so if a Democrat says, "Biden didn't do very well in the debate". It gets all blown out of proportion because Democrats "Say too much".

This isn't just the conservative media. It's left wing media, because they want their story at all costs.

Media isn't interested in democracy.

Most of them do not vote. Many of them aren't registered to vote.

That's because they sign neutrality clauses. Some who cover politics have never voted.

We had longtime local anchor who hosted Stacey Abrams. Stacey asked her if she voted and she said, "I have never voted". Stacey was shocked and tried to convince her to vote. She said, "I'll think about it". The anchor is 62 years old and is retiring this weekend. She was very interested in Stacey. She has always acted like she was very interested in politics. But when you don't vote, you don't have the same interest. The anchor still is not a registered voter.

Democrats need to be firm with the media. Tell them "Thank you, good bye" if you don't have 100% nice things to say about your candidate.

This is how it goes:



"Are you supporting Biden?"
"Yeah, yeah"
"What did you think of his debate performance?"
"Well it wasn't very good"
"Do you support him withdrawing?"
"Well no"
"What would you do to help him"
"Well, were gonna have a meeting"
"OK"

Story:
Dems will have a meeting to discuss Biden's withdrawal.

How it should go:

"Are you supporting Biden?"
"Of course I am. Why on earth do you ask. He's our candidate and he's the best?"
"What did you thinking of his debate performance?"
"I would like to know what you thought of Trump's awful, horrific, lying, most bigoted debate performance in the history of debates. Now good bye"

Story:
There is no story, except Democrats are sticking with Biden

36. Hear Hear, Ma'am

[EllieBC]

43. They learned they can make money from chaos.

That’s what they learned. WaPo and NYT had so many subs. CNN was experiencing huge viewership increases.

They want that back.

[chouchou]

16. It's Everywhere. The start of the CBS news tonight...

"After the disastrous Biden debate..ect..."
I changed the channel before I felt like punching out the Lady who spewed that bullshit.
She also said "..and Donald Trump lied his ass off" (I'm kidding..but you knew that.) Grrrrrrr.

[DEM1955]

17. 2016 all over again

We better come up with a plan and I think we will. Losing is not an option, this is life or death.

[ecstatic]

18. This is different. Nobody here was calling for or entertaining the idea

of Hillary stepping aside.

Go back to the official debate threads from last week. You'll see real time reactions. It begins IMMEDIATELY, less than 15 minutes into the debate. Nobody here needs coaching or the media's input to have an opinion. Also, this is not just about the debate or even Biden. It's about winning in November.

[edisdead]

21. oh? Oh really?

Bernie bros on line 1

[ecstatic]

22. umm...

I've never really been a bernie fan. I'm actually very practical, so if I have concerns, there's a problem.

[TBF]

35. Give it a rest please - I was one of Bernie's biggest donators

and I'm here supporting Biden (and voted for him). I donate to both of them now. Bernie because I am always supportive of his work shepharding progressive policies, and Biden because he's the current candidate (I donated as recently as 6/30).

Splitting democrats does.not.help. - we need everyone welcomed & on board!

[edisdead]

19. egg-fucking-zactly

[niyad]

20. KNR

[Azathoth]

23. Hillary lost

And not because anyone at DU "fell" for anything.

You seem to be forgetting that part.

[orangecrush]

24. Bye

[betsuni]

32. I don't think Biden expected to be Hillaried. He's a guy, people like him. But it happened.

It will happen to any Democrat.

[Dem4life1234]

37. Let's face it

Hilary lost because people thought she had it in the bag, nobody could believe she would lose against the orange buffoon.

[Marthe48]

38. The last and only time I fell for this bs was Jimmy Carter's reelection

Yes, that's how long rwnj have lied and cheated to get their candidate into the Oval Office

Anyway we can, from billboards to plane banners to placards at public venues, call out traitor. Felon 34 already owns dishonor. Instead of wondering what illegal, immoral acts criminal traitor 34 hasn't done, list the criminal and immoral acts he has done:
treason
rape
slander
theft
adultery
lying

We don't have a voice in the media. It is owned by corporations who want to own everything, including the human race. There is no liberal media. When the talking heads on any network drag out the horse manure about Dem candidates, pretending that they are wringing their hands over it, they are giving it air and life. If they spent a hour each day on 1 criminal thing traitor did, they would have material every day they are on till Nov. 3rd and then on Nov. 4 & 5 do a recap all day long, not of a single debate, but a lifetime of corruption, a lifetime traitor has squandered by being a poster boy for the worst of human excesses, some that are unique to His Excrement. Really, who uses bodily functions as a weapon? To the talking heads: This year, ignore the conventional avoidance of covering politics on election day. Be Americans and stand the hell up for your country. If you don't, you won't be talking heads, you'll be rolling heads. Because you are in heritage foundation's and traitor's sights.

39. The problem is

The problem is there was a meme out there that had been pushed for years by the RW that Biden was too old and not up for the job. Then on national tv it played out looking like they may be right. The right tried to push that with Hillary but she never had a moment on tv where it looked like she might not be able to do it.

[beaglelover]

42. Correct. The debate performance was not doctored video. We all saw it live with our own eyes. This is very

different than when Hillary was running.

[EllieBC]

40. The media needs Trump.

They never had more subscriptions and viewers than when Trump was in office. They need that back.

Don’t think for a minute they care about who is hurt in the process.

And yes they are dumb enough to think they won’t be affected.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

41. There is a pattern for the NYT

[Progressive dog]

44. Now the denials that the Hillary

illness scam ever had traction are being used by those who want Biden out (or to prove to their satisfaction he's really OK). I think some of it is well past just "falling for it", more like helping with it.

[orangecrush]

45. Yup

I noticed that too.
